The theme is Yadosagari, the domestic servant's days off. The woman keeping her hat and socks on shows how much she was longing to see her lover. But the man is manipulating with his fingers all the time, apparently not giving so much care about her feeling.
Kikukawa Eizan (1787-1867) was a designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints. He first studied with his father, Eiji, a minor painter of the Kanō school. He then studied with Suzuki Nanrei (1775-1844), an artist of the Shijō school. He is believed to have also studied with the ukiyo-e artist Totoya Hokkei (1790-1850). He produced numerous woodblock prints of beautiful women in the 1830s, but then abandoned printmaking in favor of painting.
This artist should not be confused with Harukawa Eizan, a designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints who was active in the 1790s.
